Installation Notes and Tips

Verify thread direction, thread diameter, and outer-position application before installation. This Delphi TA5146 tie rod end uses clockwise thread direction on both ends and is not adjustable, so alignment should be checked after steering service. Confirm fitment for 1983-1987 Toyota Corolla outer applications before ordering.
